The UN Security Council is set today Friday to hold an emergency meeting to discuss Russia’s claim that the US is funding the development of biological weapons in Ukraine.
The meeting is being requested by Russia, which Western countries say is fabricating the allegation in order to justify its own possible future use of biological and chemical weapons in Ukraine.
Earlier, Ukraine’s president denied Ukraine was producing any such weapons, and accused Russia of preparing to use them on Ukrainian civilians.
Reacting to the news of the meeting, a spokeswoman for the US mission to the UN told reporters that Russia was seeking to deceive the world or use the UN Security Council as a venue for promoting their disinformation.
